Cooper Williams will be heading to Fiji, Rhys Gaylard to South Korea, Lilly Deluca to Singapore and Selina Tran is heading to Taiwan.
鈥淥ur New Colombo Plan scholars have a unique opportunity to develop their understanding of the Indo-pacific region and develop life-long connections with the people they will engage with during their exchanges,鈥 said the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Professor Jacqueline Lo, Pro Vice-Chancellor (International).
